System 17 50mm High Rise Curtain Walling

Issue Date: 20/11/08

IntroductionThis system is designed for use inmulti-storey and roof glazing applicationsand is capable of accommodating a variety of glazing, panel and openingoptions.As with all curtain walling systems,intermediate tie backs to the structuremay be required subject to siteconditions.The basic suite is comprised of structuralprofiles, spigots, pressure plates andthermal isolators. A wide range of capsallows the designer to select from a variety of aesthetic solutions. Alternativesilicone pointed and frameless ventoptions are available using System 17Latitude, SSB and SP. A further unitisedmodular option is available using System17 Cassette. Various other bespokeprofiles can be produced allowingarchitects to achieve flexible designs.Glazing options are available for a varietyof unit thicknesses. As with all otherMetal Technology products,manufacturing is to exacting standardsgiving economy with required strength,and many years of aesthetic, trouble-freeoperation.

Thermal PerformanceMetal Technology System 17 CurtainWalling in conjunction with the correctglass specification, is designed to aidcompliance with the latest thermalrequirements of the current buildingregulations.

ScopeThis specification defines materials,construction, finishes and size limits forcurtain walling.

MaterialsAluminium profiles are extruded fromaluminium alloy 6060T6, T5 or T4complying with the recommendations ofBS EN 12020-2/BS EN 755-Parts 1 to 9

FinishesThe range of sections can be provided ineither of the following ranges of finishes:1. Anodised to BS 1615 or BS 39872. Powder organic coated to BS 6496 or

BS EN 12206-1

Where required, a different colour/finishcan be provided internally and externally.

ConstructionMullions are square cut and jointed usingspecially designed jointing spigots.Transoms have notched ends to ensure an easily weather-proofed joint can beprovided between mullion and transom.The system is mullion drained andprovision is made to drain water out of themullion at regular intervals.The system offers the facility to producescreens façetted on plan. Gaskets providethe facility of façetting up to ± 5º. Whencombined with the adaptor profiles andpressure caps any angle from 90º to 180ºcan be achieved.Metal Technology do not recommendfaçetting curtain walling screens whenincorporating intermediate mullionexpansion joints. To facilitate moreefficient fabrication of the system MetalTechnology can supply punch tooling andjigs to ensure the accurate and efficientpreparation of mullions and transoms.Metal Technology recommend that A2 orA4 Austenitic (300 series/class 70)stainless steel fixing screws are used in theassembly of their products.

InstallationThe Metal Technology High Rise CurtainWall system is designed as a ‘Stick’ builtsystem, therefore mullions and transomsare transported to site as preparedcomponents and the grid work isassembled onto the building in stick form.

Extruded profiles for manufacturingadjustable structural brackets capable ofaccommodating site tolerance, thermal andstructural movement are available. Theseallow the curtain walling to be fixed to thestructure easily and securely so that allloads are transferred back to the building'smain structural form.

Expansion joints are allowed on every flooror every other floor to accommodate anybuilding movement.

GlazingGlass is set against extruded gasketsinternally which are fitted into gasketgrooves in the mullions and transoms.Special care has been taken to design highperformance gaskets which will ensure thelong term weather-tightness of the system.Internal gaskets have pre-formedvulcanised corner pieces to aid continuityof the internal seal.Horizontal and vertical unit edges are thenretained using pressure plates and gasketsscrew fixed into the structural members.Cover caps are applied to conceal thepressure plate fixings.

Curved SectionsIn accordance with Metal Technology'spolicy of offering the maximum flexibilityto the designer, Metal Technology havespecial facilities available to enable profileto be supplied curved.

Requirements for curved sections shouldbe discussed with Metal Technology at an early stage in the project.

Opening VentsDetails and specifications for the openingvents can be found in the MetalTechnology Thermally Enhanced andWindows manuals. For frameless ventsrefer to System 17 Latitude manual.

PerformanceThe curtain walling has been impact testedto BS EN 14019 and tested for weathertightness to EN 13050 and in accordancewith the CWCT dynamic test for curtainwalling and achieved the following results:

Air permeability - 600 PaWater tightness - 600 PaWind resistance - 2400 PaDynamic water tightness - 600 PaWind load (safety) - 3600 Pa

Full test report details are available onrequest.

These levels of performance should besufficient for any location within the UKand Ireland. For further information ontesting and performance contact MetalTechnology's Technical Department.

Where overall screen height exceeds 20storeys or screen requirements differ fromthose stated in this literature refer to MetalTechnology's Technical Department.

DevelopmentOur policy is to continually research themarket for new and improved products. Wemust therefore retain the right to amendspecifications without prior notice. It isrecognised at Metal Technology that insome instances special sections may berequired for particular projects. When thisoccurs it may be possible to producespecial sections subject to there beingsufficient quantity and adequate time.These requirements should be discussedwith Metal Technology.

Metal Technology, an acknowledged leader in window and door

systems has designed System 17 curtain walling for high rise

applications. Its attractive and clean lines will enhance all types

of office and commercial façades, with the added benefit of simple

fabrication.

General NotesSystem 17



The following notes provide guidance to assist in the design, fabricationand installation of the Metal Technology System 17 curtain walling. Whenincorporating other Metal Technology products into the curtain walling,the appropriate installation and fabrication guide must also be consulted.

Fabricators should produce detailed working drawings to ensure that the curtain walling is properlydesigned to suit individual site/project requirements.

The fabrication details in this manual are for typical curtain walling modules. For non-rectangular orirregular conditions details should be determined from the working drawings.

This system is designed to be installed in a stick-built form.

When initially selecting this system care should be taken to accommodate building movement,tolerance, expansion and contraction. Additional consideration should be given to the method ofassembly and the clearance required to install the final mullion.

When using 50mm (HR5010) and 79mm (HR5017) transoms a transom cleat is optional when thefollowing criteria are met:

• Unit weight is less than 60Kg; and• Transom span is less than 2000mm; and• Wind load is less than 1800Pa

The fabricator should determine the most appropriate method of cleating from the following options:• Screwported cleat (HR5049): For end-loaded assembly where transoms meet mullions at 90º.• "C" cleat (HR5047): For end-loaded assembly where transoms meet mullions at an angle other

than 90º, and between 60º and 120º.• Cast spring loaded cleat (HR50212): For front-loaded assembly where transoms meet mullions

at 90º.• Extruded spring loaded cleat: For front-loaded assembly where transoms meet mullions at 90º.

The extruded transom cleat HR5049 provides the additional benefit of a secondary fixing option toensure a tight joint at the mullion/transom connection.

Refer to Metal Technology's structural charts to determine the appropriate mullions, transoms andconnection details. All curtain wall members, their brackets, fixings and the structure to which they areattached must be designed/approved by a qualified structural engineer to suit specific site conditions,movement, screen design, wind load, dead load, and all other relevant forces acting on the screen.

The fixings and brackets, etc. shown in this manual are indicative. The type and design of the structuralbrackets and their fixings to the structure and curtain walling members must be capable of permittingmovement and tolerance, and of supporting the loads applied, including the appropriate safety factors.

All fixings must be compatible with the materials into which they are fastened. i.e. when attaching intoaluminium, austenitic stainless steel fixings are recommended.

When using self cleaning or other coated glasses the fabricator must check to ensure that all gaskets,sealants and tapes are compatible with the coated surface with which they may come in contact.

Fabricators must ensure that all adhesives and sealants are fully compatible with the materials andfinishes they are to be in contact with. Before applying any adhesives/sealants, ensure all relevantsurfaces are free from grease or dust. Clean all aluminium mating surfaces with a suitable metalcleaning agent. Metal Technology recommend that fabricators sample all proposed adhesives/sealantsand cleaning agents to ensure compatibility on a project by project basis.

1. Select appropriate profiles as required, ensuring transom is not largerthan mullion.

2. Cut all profiles to length, as per "Glass and Fabrication Sizes" sheet.

3. Prep pressure plates in accordance with the relevant "Pressure Plate Preps" sheet. For ease offabrication pressure plates may be ordered in a pre-punched condition.

4. Notch and prep holes in transoms as shown on "Transom End Preps" sheet.

5. Drill pilot holes into mullion gasket grooves as shown on relevant "Mullion Prep" sheet.

6. a) When using cleats manufactured from bars HR5047 or HR5049, drill holes in side wall of mullionto suit transom application as shown on "Mullion Prep for Extruded Cleats" sheet.

b) When using spring loaded cleats drill holes in side wall of mullion to suit transom application asshown on relevant "Mullion Prep" sheet.

7. Notch mullion to accommodate EPDM membrane as shown on "Head and Cill Prep Details" sheet.

8. a) Fix extruded transom cleats to mullions using No 10 x 12mm pan head stainless steel selftapping screws.

b) Insert cast spring loaded cleats in transom as illustrated on "Cast Spring Loaded CleatInstallation" sheet.

c) Fix extruded spring loaded cleats into transom, tight to rear wall, as illustrated on "ExtrudedSpring Loaded Cleat Installation" sheets.

9. When using spigot inserts fabricated from HR5024 and HR5025 at head, cill, and expansionpositions:a) Insert spigot into mullion before applying extruded transom cleats. Fix extruded transom cleats

to mullion and spigot. Where expansion is required, spigot to be slotted to accommodate ends oftransom cleat fixing screws, to facilitate movement.

b) When using spring loaded cleats provide a 30mm x 12mm slot in the spigot to accommodate thespring loaded pin, and facilitate movement where required.

System 17 Checklist

1. Ensure all the relevant and most current information pertaining to thecurtain walling screen is available, read and understood prior to estimating,

drawing, fabrication and installation. Special care should be taken withregard to any project specific performance requirements. Where anyassumptions have been made these should be forwarded to the designteam for approval. All necessary information requested within the specification documentation shouldbe forwarded to the design team for approval including testing certification.

2. Where any additional project specific or on site testing is requested within the tender documentationthis should be itemised within the BoQ, including any additional information relating to lead times,project schedule and the consequences of potential re-testing.

3. Confirm design wind load for site.4. Calculation of all member sizes to be carried out by the fabricator's structural engineer. Structural

charts provided by Metal Technology are for guidance only.5. Check deflection and transom dead load for glass/panel weight and suitability of cleated construction.6. Prepare all relevant contract drawings for submission to the architect for approval prior to commencing

fabrication. Ensure all relevant interfaces are considered. All drawings to be fully annotated inconjunction with the architects and engineers perimeter details, and to show all Metal Technology partnumbers, flashing, ironmongery, bracketry, and fixing details, colour, and type of finish.

7. Curtain walling sections should not be notched around the structure without the prior approval of a structural engineer.

8. The fabricator should ensure that the proposed curtain walling screen is not only capable ofwithstanding all the anticipated loads imposed upon it, in conjunction with expansion and contraction,but that it can also work in harmony with the building structure with regard to its anticipatedexpansion, contraction and movement etc.

9. Curtain walling systems are generally stacked but may occasionally be hung off the structure. Priorconfirmation should be obtained from the project engineer that the proposed structure is capable ofwithstanding the imposed loads.

10. Where a screen requires additional secondary support this information should be relayed to the designteam for prior approval and confirmation of who is responsible for providing this support.

11. It is recommended that all/any expansion joints should occur adjacent to a structural fixing, subject tothe approval of a structural engineer.

12. All brackets must be designed to accommodate expansion/contraction and slotted where necessary topermit movement. Ensure brackets are designed to suit the building structure and that the fixings arefit for purpose. Consideration should be given to site tolerance and adjustment.

13. When designing brackets ensure the correct spigots and ancillary items are used at the head, cill andexpansion joint and that they are sufficiently robust for the purpose.

14. When not adopting the standard Metal Technology aluminium brackets or spigots ensure the alternativebrackets are compatible with the aluminium sections or are suitably isolated. The same considerationshould also be given to the fixings used.

15. All section sizes, fixings and brackets should be checked and confirmed by a structural engineer.16. All glass, panel and insert details should be checked to ensure they are capable of withstanding the

anticipated loads imposed upon them.17. The curtain walling screen should be checked to ensure it achieves the required U-value.18. Consideration should be given to any acoustic requirements and specialist advice sought where

required.19. Check contract documentation to determine if an internal air seal is required. Agree site specific details,

and confirm who is responsible for applying the air seal on site.20. The system drains through the mullions therefore the base drainage detail must be designed to

accommodate this using a continuous EPDM membrane.21. Where a secondary weatherseal is required an EPDM membrane or similar detail may be continued up

the jambs and across the head.22. The water deflectors and expansion sleeves must be fitted as detailed within the System 17 manual.23. When using foil-backed sealant tape this should be cut back around the deflectors so that drainage and

ventilation is not impeded.24. Ensure that the correct gaskets, isolators and pressure plate are used for the correct thickness of glass.25. Ensure that the transom end seal gasket is installed between the transom and mullion at their overlap.26. Ensure all gaskets meet at a tight and compressed joint and are suitably sealed.27. Where roof lights are being installed expansion joints should not be used. The system must be fixed at

one point and allowed to expand from here. Flashings should be detailed to allow for movement.28. Rooflights should not be installed at a pitch of less than 15˚ (10˚ for flush silicone pointed transoms).

POSITIONING CLEAT: In order to ensure thecleat face finishes flush with transom section,the cleat should be positioned approximately6mm clear of the section prior to tightening it.

Cleat should be fitted tight against rear wall oftransom, leaving a small tolerance gap asindicated in drawings above.

RELEASING CLEAT: The cleat may be releasedby loosening the screw and inserting a flatmetal section between the outer part of thecleat and the transom side and striking itsharply with a hammer.

Fabricator must set out mullion/transom intersection to ensure transom does notfinish beyond depth of mullion.The maximum degree of façet achievable with a single mullion assembly is ± 5°.If unit thickness is not 28mm or if façetted angle varies from those stated below,fabricator must set out each application to determine setting out points/cuttingsizes/angles.

* In order to ensure the transom cover caps do not damage the mullion pressure caps when 'snapping'them into position on site, it may be necessary to reduce the transom cover cap by 1mm. The transomcover cap should then be centralised to leave a gap not greater than 0.5mm at each end.

General Installation Information

Introduction

The following instructions are a general guideline and cover the most commoncurtain walling conditions. For further information, advice or assistance withproject specific applications contact Metal Technology's Technical Department.

General Information

Curtain walling components are a finished product and must be protected against damage at all times.During handling metal should be packed in suitable stillages/racking with adequate separation to preventbars from rubbing together. Materials should be stored clear of the ground and adequately protected fromthe elements and other construction trades. Where possible all curtain walling materials should be storedinside in a designated and protected area or in weather-proof containers provided specifically for thatpurpose.

All curtain walling sections should be adequately protected against minor scuffs and abrasions duringinstallation. This can be achieved using a suitable low tack tape to all exposed finished surfaces of theframe. Low tack tape should be periodically renewed and should not remain on the profiles for more thansix months from the date of application. (This period may vary depending on exposure, application andmanufacturers instructions)

LOW TACK TAPE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL HANDLING.

Construction Guidelines

Before any curtain walling installation is undertaken Metal Technology recommend that thefabricator/installer familiarise themselves with the curtain walling system using the appropriate technicalbinders. The fabricator/installer should be capable of recognising all the constituent parts and understandthe relationships of the various components.

The fabricator should ensure that all the relevant information necessary to install the product prior tocomencement on site is available including, but not limited to:

• Up to date and relevant Technical Manuals• Setting out drawings• Approved working drawings• Schedule of works• Installation method statement• All relevant Heath and Safety and COSHH information and documentation relating to the installation.• All relevant Health and Safety risk assessment documentation.• Information on Main Contractors Health and Safety and site induction requirements.• Material delivery dockets• Ensure that all necessary ancillary components required to complete the project have also been delivered

to site (i.e. fixings, fasteners, brackets, flashings, sealants, backing rod, etc.)• Where required, relevant certification (ie - relevant licenses, CSCS, and CWCT cards, etc.)

Site Establishment

1. Check site access for deliveries.2. Ensure satisfactory storage area is available for tools, equipment and materials. Do not accept storage

for materials or products where there is a risk of accidental damage.3. Check scaffolding is safe and suitable for the erection of curtain walling.4. Ensure power supply is in accordance with regulations.5. Ensure operational procedures are fully understood.6. Ensure compliance with Health and Safety Regulations.7. Do not make assumptions. If in doubt ask for further clarification.8. Ensure all queries are answered completely and satisfactorily. Do not accept substandard answers.

System 17



Tools and Equipment

1. Check accuracy of tape measures, spirit levels and other equipment.2. Ensure theodolite, laser levels, etc. have been checked and calibrated.3. Ensure all power tools are in a satisfactory condition and of the correct type necessary for the job and

in accordance with the relevant Health and Safety requirements. Ensure all equipment has beenmaintained in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and that all maintenance andrepairs have been undertaken by qualified personnel and have been logged/signed off accordingly.

4. Ensure all ladders and access equipment are in a satisfactory condition, in accordance with all Healthand Safety requirements and have been certified/signed-off accordingly.

5. Ensure that any personnel responsible for operating equipment have been fully trained and are awareof the the relevant Health and Safety regulations.

Drawings and Technical Literature

1. Ensure all fabrication and installation manuals are current and up to date.2. Ensure all drawings are up to date and in accordance with the drawing register.3. Record the date on which the drawings and accompanying drawing register are received.4. Do not accept drawings without a copy of the drawing register.5. Ensure that method statements pertaining to the contract are provided and are kept close to hand.6. Make sure the contract program is agreed and fully understood and that any penalties for exceeding

contract deadlines are clearly defined.7. Ensure lines of responsibility on site are clearly established.8. Ensure all the relevant information necessary to complete the project satisfactorily is available and

understood. If in doubt ask for clarification or additional information.

Delivery Notes

1. Ensure all deliveries are received with an accompanying delivery docket.2. All deliveries should be checked off against the docket. Dockets should not be signed until they have

been fully checked and agreed. Signing a delivery docket signifies agreement that the correct goodshave been delivered in a satisfactory condition. Any inconsistencies between docket and actualdelivery should be noted on the docket prior to signing. Record all damages and obtain writtenauthority if proceeding with their installation.

Fabrication Quality

1. The installer should ensure that all products received on site are manufactured in accordance withMetal Technology's recommendations and guidelines.

2. The installer should ensure that all the information necessary to check the quality of fabrication isavailable.

3. Where an installer is unsure if fabrication is in accordance with Metal Technology's recommendationshe should obtain further clarification or approval.

4. The installer should not install any substandard or damaged products/materials without the writtenapproval/authority of the appropriate fabricator or subcontractor.

Setting Out

1. Check all contract and shop drawings, so that all aspects of the installation are understood.2. Establish accurate position, line and level from established datums and bench marks in accordance

with the contractors drawings.3. Check all datums, bench marks and off-sets for dimensional accuracy and obtain a good understanding

of how and why they were established prior to your involvement on site.4. Identify who is responsible for providing the necessary datums, bench marks and off-sets. The curtain

walling installer/subcontractor should only be responsible for the secondary setting-out of the curtainwalling screens.

5. Establish responsibility for the decision-making process when problems, inaccuracies or variations frompredetermined norms are encountered.

Site Storage

1. Store all profiles/product above ground level in weather proof containers, andsuitable stillages/racking with adequate separation and protection against

accidental damage, etc.2. Store glass on suitable 'A' frames within a weather proof container or within the building, ensuring it

is not exposed to direct sunlight.3. If glass is to be stored within the building ensure that the designated area is capable of accepting

the proposed load, and obtain written authority to proceed.4. Ensure that all glass is transported and stored in accordance with the GGF Glass Handling, Storage

and Transportation Code of Practice.5. Establish a clean, dry, secure and contaminant-free storage facility for all components, accessories,

gaskets and sealants.6. Where flammable or toxic materials are required on site ensure they are stored in accordance with

the relevant Health and Safety and COSHH requirements.7. All flammable materials must be made known to the site supervisor/manager and stored in

designated fire-proof facilites.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the current and relevant contract drawings and literature, includinga copy of this technical manual and any technical literature relevant to thestructural fixings, etc are available on site.

2. Survey the structural opening and floor levels to ensure that they are thecorrect size, square and plumb, with sufficient clearance to accommodate any expansion, contraction,building movement and the joint width requirement for the applicable sealant.

3. Ensure that all brackets are fit for purpose. Confirm that the structure to which the curtain wallingscreen is to be fastened is sound and capable of adequately accepting the fixings and the subsequentloads transferred by them.

4. All aluminium should be isolated from direct contact with masonry, concrete and other incompatiblematerials by means of packing pieces, EPDM membranes, suitable paint or similar materials.

5. Use A2 - A4 austenitic stainless steel fixings when fastening to or fixing through aluminium unless fullyand appropriately isolated from contact with the aluminium.

6. Avoid, where possible, fixing into wetted or drainage areas. Where this is unavoidable ensureappropriate precautions are taken, all penetrations are sealed, and only suitable materials are used.

7. Ensure the correct fixings are used in accordance with the contract information/specification. Ensure allfixings are installed in accordance with fixing manufacturers recommendations. Consideration should begiven to length of fixing, fixing through non-load bearing materials, hole diameter, cleaning of hole,application of correct torque, and the position of the fixing in relation to the edge of the structure.

8. Ensure all DPC's, DPM's and vapour barriers are located correctly and are not punctured or damaged.Ensure all sealants, primers, cleaners, solvents etc. are compatible with any DPC's, DPM's or vapourbarriers with which they may come in contact. Where these are required to be glazed into the curtainwall system ensure that they are of suitable length, in accordance with the contract drawings.

9. Ensure the correct gaskets are available for all applications and that they are kept clean and free fromall imperfections, damage, grease and other contaminants.

10. Using the appropriate surveying equipment mark out the level and positions for the fixing brackets asindicated on the contract drawings.

Glazing Procedure

1. Clean gasket races and mounting surfaces. Ensure glazing cavity is clean and free from debris andswarf.

2. Check that the gaskets are clean and in a relaxed condition. If gaskets have been stretched they shouldbe left for a sufficient period to allow them to return to their natural state. Where gaskets are found tobe short they should be replaced with ones that are cut 1-3% oversized, and compacted in place.

3. Push fit internal gaskets into mullions and transoms. If required, insert vulcanised corners. If thegaskets show visible imperfections, such as cuts or abrasions, they should be changed.

4. Using suitable sealant seal all gasket to gasket joints as required.5. If not already applied in the factory, insert the appropriate push-in thermal isolator.6. Insert glazing supports and setting blocks in accordance with "Glazing Support" sheet and BS 6262.7. Clean the perimeter of the glass and check for any imperfections and/or damage.8. Insert the glass, panels or inserts and centralise within the frame. Check perimeter details on contract

drawings and insert DPC's/DPM's, perimeter infils/closer channels and flashings, as required. Wheninserting other Metal Technology products refer to the relevant system literature.

9. Glass, panels, infils and perimeter details may be temporarily held in position using 100mm cuttings ofpressure plate and gasket at approximately 600mm centres. Units held in position using temporarypressure plates should not be left unattended on site or used during inclement, exposed or windyconditions.

10. When using co-extruded pressure plate apply HR5064 foil-backed sealant tape where required inaccordance with "Transom Junction Detail" sheet.

11. Apply HR5064 foil-backed sealant tape at all vertical pressure plate joints in accordance with "VerticalPressure Plate Joint Details" sheet.

12. If using foil-backed sealant tape throughout the screen apply as detailed on "HR5064 Foil-BackedSealant Tape" sheet.

13. When using aluminium pressure plate, insert external gaskets. Once the gasket has been pulled intoposition allow it to relax to its natural state, and cut 1-3% oversized as required, to be compressed intoposition to accommodate shrinkage.

14. Use the correct austenitic stainless steel screws at the specified centres and apply full lengths of theprepped pressure plate to mullions, removing temporary pressure plates as you go. When using MetalTechnology's co-extruded thermal pressure plate, stitch plates (HR50110) must be used in conjunctionwith the pressure plate screws. Repeat with transoms.

15. Set torque for pressure plate screws to 3.5Nm. Torque settings should be determined by inserting a screw using a calibrated manual torque wrench. Once the torque has been set with a manual wrenchadjust the setting on your drill to match. Do not set torque using predetermined settings on drill.Regularly check torque using calibrated manual wrench and re-adjust drill settings accordingly. Oncetorque has been checked mark screws with paint and do not re-check. Screws will relax; constantlychecking and tightening the torque will damage them or cause them to shear.

16. Once correct torque has been applied ensure that the pressure plate and gaskets force the glass ontothe internal gasket and are not loose.

17. Ensure that there are no gaps at the gasket corners. Seal joints between pressure plates and gaskets,using a suitable black sealant.

18. Apply a suitable seal/sealant to the perimeter of the frame as per the contract drawings and inaccordance with sealant manufacturers recommendations and instructions. Locally remove any 'lowtack' tape which may interfere with the application of the sealant or damage it if removed at a laterstage. Tool sealant to achieve acceptable finish and ensure correct adhesion.

19. Apply snap-on cover caps to mullions. Cover caps are a tight fit and may require 'tapping' into postionusing a rubber mallet or a block of wood to protect the paint finish. Repeat with transom cover caps.Cover caps should fit squarely onto the pressure plates and meet at right angles to each other at themullion/transom cruciforms. Avoid using excessive force which may cause the cover caps toover-engage and sit at an angle.

Internal Gasket Details

Internal Glazing Gasket Options

There are three methods available for the internal glazing gasket.

1. For the best level of performance a pre-formed "Picture frame" gasket should be used. Refer toMetal Technology's Technical Department for further details.

2. Alternatively vulcanised corners (HR5062) can be fitted with lengths of gasket running between,as detailed below.

3. Alternatively lengths of gasket may be butt jointed and sealed at the corners of the frame asshown on sheet "Internal Gasket Details - Butt joint corners".

Methods 2 and 3 rely heavily on a good quality of workmanship and therefore method 1 is to berecommended where possible.
